Revisiting his former band 229’s work as he prepares for a busy year full of new music and live shows, singer/songwriter Alan Dweck introduces the fans to the progressive masterpiece American B. Digitally released in 2016 on their record The Edge of the West, American B gives us a glimpse of a band that played a great part in the Eastern European indie rock movement in the late 80s and early 90s, leading to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Let me tell you more about it.
Drawing influence from 80s art rock, Alan Dweck’s American B introduces an open sound with smooth bright melodies in a hooking streaming flow, creating a mesmerizing sound mix that softly carries the listeners away into a dreamy, floating world. American B has a hypnotizing groove that subtly opens the door into a multi-layered, beautifully crafted composition that smoothly mixes different sounds and layers in perfect harmony, where warm synth, heart-hitting saxophones, mood-boosting percussions, and soothing expressive vocal melodies all engage in fascinating conversation that forms American B’s detailed progression and builds its deeply emotional sound.
American B is an artistic piece with detailed sound and top-notch arrangement that shows Alan Dweck’s seasoned writing and high melodic sense, the spacious structure that he created allowed him to steer diverse elements simultaneously in perfect flow and harmony, demonstrating pure talent. I’m pretty excited for more from Alan Dweck, keep on rocking. Cheers!
